Is it gonna rain today and how much?

Thanks a lot for your work on this! Just updated it and the amount of data is overwhelming!

I am going ESP8266/MQTT with my sprinklers, and want to use your component's data to enable, or not the watering automation.

From the realtime/hourly/daily configs, I get the followings:

sensor.cc_climat_precipitation = right now

sensor.cc_climat_precipitation_1h = now + 1h sensor.cc_climat_precipitation_2h = 1h + 1h after (now + 1h not added)

sensor.cc_climat_precipitation_max_1d = max precipitation tomorrow sensor.cc_climat_precipitation_max_2d = max precipitation day after tomorrow

What about today? Will it rain today and how much? Almost like a "_0d". Is one of the data received represents this, or creating a template adding like 12 hourly results the only way?

Thanks!!

Hi, this is interesting, it is one of my goals to implement an irrigation management system.

can you better explain? what is your question? Thanks, Renato

Yeah sorry...It is kinda confusing.

I looked at the data some more...and saw the "Observation time" attribute. For example, sensor.cc_climat_precipitation_accumulation_1d "observation_time: '2020-07-02'", so my understanding is that "cc_xxx_1d" is forecast for today, correct? "cc_xxx_2" is forecast tomorrow, etc. Right?

For your irrigation system, I would recommend you read this: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/mqtt-based-sprinkler-control/135585/8

This post from tom_l has a lot of very useful information.

There's an excellent integration called Smart Irrigation that will work perfectly with this component to do exactly what you're wanting to do. I know because I've been using it for a few months now with my own routine that pulled this data and created sensors. The only thing you'll need on top of this component is a high/low temp for the day that I've already asked the author to add.
